The PIC was a GHSA instructor and the flight occurred late in the day in good weather conditions. Accounts vary but the consistent one is the glider departed the tow at 150-200 feet AGL, rolled right into a nose-down position and impacted the ground. FAA and NTSB are on the scene and no other details are confirmed.
